Preparation for the DELF and DALF exams

How do I learn to understand French texts by ear? How to answer the examiners’ questions? How to write an essay, letter or synthesis with the highest possible score? And most importantly: how to prepare for and pass the DELF?

We have the answers to all of these questions because all of our teachers have traveled this path.

Which exam is right for me?

There are two main examinations:

  • Delf (Diploma in French Studies) and includes levels A1, A2, B1, B2, and
  • Dalf (Diploma in Advanced French Studies) C1, C2 and confirms fluency in French (see table for details).

But also distinguish such types:

  • DELF tout public – the most popular ekazmen for almost all purposes pass it, suitable for any age.
  • DELF Prim – for children from 8 to 12 years old. This exam gives children the opportunity to confirm their knowledge at the initial stage of learning French.
  • DELF Junior is for teenagers from 12 to 17 years old. The exam has the same tasks as DELF tout public, but within topics of interest to teenagers.
  • DELF Pro – for professional purposes. The exam is designed for those who intend to work in a French-speaking environment.

How do we prepare for the DELF exams?

Our exam preparation methodology is based on our personal experience. We know what to pay attention to and how to prepare you to pass the DELF/DALF exams. It is worth noting that this is an individual course, prepared specifically for your level, with the development of all skills: from listening, reading, writing to speaking.

From the first lesson we start doing a lot of test exams, as well as sorting out past test materials of your level. We find reports on topics that are most often used in exams and improve listening comprehension skills, build up our vocabulary and recognize different grammatical constructions from what we hear, so that we can then integrate them into our speech. We learn vocabulary and compile a glossary on the topic of the video, which we then use in conversation.

During the lesson, the teacher pays attention to grammar that needs repetition and more practice. This is very important, as the examiners will definitely note if you use complex constructions, agreement of tenses, subjunctive or conditional moods.

We pay special attention to the development of writing and speaking skills. We train each type of writing with special precision: we study the structure, peculiarities of writing, types of conjunctions in a sentence. We talk not only about the topics that are present in the audio assignments, but also teach you to answer questions so that you can defend your point of view, give an example, tell a story from your experience. For this purpose, we often ask students to find additional information at home, for example, how is garbage sorted in France and Ukraine?

The key to successfully passing such exams is a good knowledge of the exam structure, what each task is and practicing for time. We take all this into account when preparing for classes.

What materials do we use in the preparation for Delf?

We do not focus on one textbook, as it is possible to find useful assignments in different sources. We use textbooks from publishers such as CLE International, Didier, and Hachette as a basis: CLE International, Didier, and Hachette, but we make most of the assignments ourselves.

How long does the course last?

Optimal preparation time 2-3 once a week for 2-3 months before the exam. It is possible to prepare as in our school, and remotely (on Skype, Messenger).

DELF/DALF diplomas are valid worldwide. They don’t have an expiration date., unlike many international English exams. It’s a serious task, which requires regular training to prepare.

It is not enough to know French well, since the structure of the exam at each level is quite specific. Therefore, if you are learning French from scratch or you are still far from the level, which you want to take – we advise you to first tighten up your French, this can be done on our French courses online, and then sign up with us to prepare for DELF.

Besides, all our students, who work with us in a group and individually, we gradually direct and train in order to, so that in the future they will also pass the DELF/DALF exams.

Sign up for the first lesson, if you want to get quality preparation for DELF/DALF.
